Despite rumors of an impending raid, the Occupy San Francisco camp remains intact today in Justin Herman Plaza and in front of the nearby Federal Reserve Bank. Meanwhile, the camps in Oakland and San Jose have been largely uprooted by authorities, although protesters remain active in both cities. Here is a running account of the day’s activities:

12:25 p.m. Oakland tree-sitter gets company

Zachary RunningWolf, who organized a 21-month tree-sit in an oak grove near UC Berkeley’s football stadium, is becoming a fixture above Oakland’s Frank Ogawa Plaza. A second protester now rests on a branch above him, and three other wooden platforms have been installed.

Nearly two weeks ago, RunningWolf climbed into a tree along a busy stretch of 14th Street to protest the eviction order issued on the Occupy Oakland encampment. On Friday morning, some of his supporters issued a call for help on Twitter. Firefighters had arrived, and they were afraid they’d bring the protester to the ground forcibly. But the fire department left without doing so, he and other witnesses said.

“They’re playing the cat and mouse game,” RunningWolf said. “We’re going to get a restraining order early next week on the fire department in not assisting the police in extracting tree-sitters.”

RunningWolf said he planned to remain right where he was until the city government allows the encampment to return to the plaza. He has a tarp to shield him from the rain, and plenty of people to bring him dry clothing and food. Someone bought him a cell phone this week.

RunningWolf was the only protester up in the tree until recently, but it’s hardly been a lonely existence. “It’s really hard to get time alone,” he said. “People are constantly here, which is good.”

10:40 a.m. Protesters relieved there were no overnight police raids

People in Occupy San Francisco seemed tired, but relieved that police have let them stay another night. Neither of the encampments, the main one in Justin Herman Plaza and the other one nearby on Market Street were raided overnight. There’s no imminent sign that either camp will be forced to leave.

But people say they aren’t sure what the future holds.

Some of the residents have begun offering tours of the camp for curious bystanders and several have taken them up on it.

The encampment seems more organized this morning. There is a sign that lists what the camp needs. Among the items requested are: car batteries, laptops, food, water and a celebrity to endorse them.

Another sign indicates Daniel Ellsberg, of the Pentagon Papers fame, will visit the camp Sunday and speak in the evening.

Two members of the Occupy San Jose protest, were at the San Francisco camp.

Christy Wong, who is unemployed and lives with her 18-year-old son who is also unemployed, said she’s been in San Francisco for three days. She’s been to all the Bay Area Occupy camps “to get ideas.”

Wong said “people here are unusual. Some are fantastic. Some are rowdy. Some are unique.” As for herself, she said “I’m against greed, I’m against foreclosure.” She said she lost her own health care insurance.

Aaron Byrne, 32, who was sporting “Occupy SJ” tattoo across his knuckles, said he was also visiting to see what works in San Francisco.

“There are more wild cards hers, more opportunists,” said Byrne, who is looking for a job and has an interview later today. But he supports all the young people trying to be heard.

Also on hand this morning, are a group of four American Airlines flight attendants holding signs that say “Airline workers part of the 99 percent.”

In a friend's dining room in central Los Angeles, 27 hours before she will announce she's running for president of the United States, I ask self-help author and motivational speaker Marianne Williamson to perform a miracle. Until a few weeks ago, I didn't know Williamson was planning to join the Democratic presidential primary class of 2020.
